Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox closes unexpectedly when printing to file with "PDF" radio button selected and with desktop as target location. Noticed mostly when printing certain web pages (but only some, it only happens around 5-10% of the time). Sample web page which does this consistently: http://www.power-technology.com/contractors/tandd/ofil/press1.html

When Firefox is restarted, it correctly asks to restore the previous session. However, it crashes consistently every time.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1 and Firefox 3.0.1 ("apt-cache policy firefox" reports: Installed: 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3).
